Well, it is to be expected. After all, we can barely understand
Shakespeare as it is written, let alone as it is pronounced.
Which reminds me that it has probably been several years since I last mentioned here my old experiment of throwing "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" as a zero-point bonus English-to-Japanese translation problem in third-year (mostly graduate students) Japanese quizzes.
But probably not long enough yet to do it again.
